The vestibuIe Train.

The PRESS some time ago gave a descrip-
ton of the Maine Central vestibule train
which runs from Boston to Bar Harbor via
Portland and Bangor. The train is the most
luxurious one known to railroading through
out the world, and the new carriages-which
the PRESS described last week-were so de-
fined by Mr.. Pullman. the Superintendent of
the Pullman Car Company. Of course the
train had to run a week or two before it be-
came thoroughly known to the pleasure
travel Of the United States, but now every
occupant of one of these trains has proved
an advertiser to all his friends of its comfort
and speed, and the difficulty encountered by
the Maine Central officers is to find room for
all who wish to travel by the vestibule train.
The management Of the road are perfectly
satisfied with it. There is no jar, no dust,
no cinders. The vestibule connection keeps
the train as steady as a church, and it bowls
along at rate of speed that satisfies even
the Yankee who, on most trains, is always
pulling out his watch to see if he is ever go
ing to reach his destination. There is one
run, that from Portland to Bangor, 1876 miles,
that is made without stop, the longest run
of its kind in the world. People who travel
on the fast New York & New England ex-
press think 81 miles without stop some
thing to talk about. This run is more than
half again as long. Besides the luxurious
Accommodations Of. this train, there is one
feature that is apt by some to be overlooked,
but not by old travellers That is the excel
lent dinner furnished in the dining car. A
mena is provided that would do credit to the
best appointed hotels, and as the tourist sits
at the well served table and enjoys his din
ner at his leisure, he gazes through the great
plate glass windows of the car upon the su-
perb scenery constantly spreading out be-
fore him.

ALLEGED LIBEL.
a. wheeIock Ripley Arrested on
Charges Preferred by Judge Gould.

Mr.. II. w. Ripley was arrested upon
charge of criminal libel and lodged in the
police station yesterday morning. The
charge against him is preferred by Judge
Gould, of the Municipal Court, and is based
upon allegations contained in an article
published over Mr.. Ripley's signature in the
Maine Sentinel of July 9th, published at
Biddeford.
The article referred to charges Judge
Gould with unprecedented and unqualified
acts of dishonest transactions;" alleges that
the judge receives his salary from the tax
payers of Portland. and from other very
questionable methods; and accuses the Judge
of bribing the agent of another person in a
real estate transaction, defrauding that per-
son out of property he had already pur-
chased; and also of illegal and dishonor-
able acts, first in tampering with property
that by RICH. and honor belonged to another
person, and secondly by foul receptions in
every way in his transactions on Long
Island"
Mr.. Ripley was taken to Biddeford yester-
day afternoon. Later in the day, the Times
says, Portland PARTIES furnished bail for his
appearance at the September term of the
Supreme Court in the sum of $1,000.
Judge Gould is represented by Messrs.
Symonds and Libby of this city.
Mr.. John Hanscom, editor of the Sentinel,
was also arrested. Mr. Hanscom went be-
fore Judge Hamilton in the municipal conrt,
pleaded not guilty to the charge and gave
bonds in the sum of s., 600 for his appearance
at the September term of the Supreme Court
at Alfred. Postmaster Shaw Of Biddeford
was his bondsman.

What Becomes of Punched Tickets.

Somebody asked Maine Central clerk
lately what became of all the punched tick
cts handed in by conductors. The answer
was that the fifty-eight conductors who hand
over the punched local tickets daily dump
them on long counter in the general pas
senger Office where they are sorted. The
tickets Of each road are stacked separately
in piles and then each pile is placed in a
drawer marked with the name of that road,
and there they remain until the end of the
month. Then there are the little pasteboard
locals which are sorted by stations sold from.
Five large drawers are parted off into boxes
like post Office boxes, and into these a clerk
throws the tickets as post office clerks sling
letters into rack. Then clerk has to take
these from each station and sort them by
numbers just as they stood in the case of the
ticket agent who sold them. Each agent
makes report in detail the last day of each
month. The Maine Central has 1876 stations,
and all these tickets at last have to be COM
pared with the station agents reports to see
the numbers are correct and that none are
duplicated. r.s.
